All farmers who have crops nowhere to sell.

This too shall pass.

The government data blackout is something

Never know if we will ever find out the lost data

The philosophy is similar to - stop Covid testing - to stop infection

I complement the communication strategist - who caused the folks making 50k and wearing Walmart khakis hate Obamacare

Imagine the successful dog whistle and argument pretzel to vote against it

Beats all logic that the person responsible for your pension funds health in Stocks is buying up US bonds.

If this conflict is evident to an average Joe - why does the conservatives dont see this.

Merrick Garland

How could Obama nominate such incompetent person to supreme court

In hindsight after his stint as AG - have no pity for him.

A career police officer during an international training gave us a speech on “management by fear”

That concept holds true in many things we see political in recent times.

When historians look at this time

A government - for the people by the people - appealing to the highest court to allow them to keep the poor citizens hungry.

Minus Citizens United - this country would not have aligned with the interests of corporations versus the citizens who contribute $10 to a politicians campaign

With citizens united in force - your $10 contribution is just theatre for most

At its core, the real threat is American democracy siding with corporations instead of its own citizens.

Everything else is just noise, fear, and political theater.

Love our country but the callousness of us watching unknown humans getting blown up to shreds like a video game without a conscious is frightening

Social media was revolutionary before crooks and governments used it to influence public opinion to their agenda

Generative AI will possibly do similar with the young minds, if they do not have to learn to read and summarize knowledge

We could risk a zombie generation with embedded/wearable AI.

@schumer.senate.gov please have a powerful voicemail explaining how Dems are fighting for the poor. Have someone young do the voicemail, in the style that people understand.

Dont miss the opportunity by letting the trolls ring the phone, without a response. This a golden opportunity for messaging.

We have come to a stage where the co-equal branches of government does not exist

The climate activist are in a Religion - they want everyone to “believe“

Science asks you to question everything

Your job to present arguments and defend your hypothesis

Agreeing and starting to appreciate Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie, and Rand Paul definitely wasn't on my 2025 Bingo card!

The whole strategy is that they will lie and the poorly educated will believe them.

That is the plan all the time.
